FALL 2023

The Great Lakes Fasteners
Group has acquired
Connection Services Company
of Benton Harbor, MI, and
continues its rapid growth
plans serving manufacturers
in the greater Midwest region.
Connection Services is
a boutique manufacturer of
standard and special U-bolts,
threaded rods, and special
threaded studs. “All of us
at Connection Service are
looking forward to bringing
our two families together,
as we are both hard working
organizations driven to deliver
quality service, a vast array
of products, and be the value
leader for our customers.”
said Todd Adent.
Connection Services will
join forces with the fastener
distribution group formed by
Kevin Weidinger, owner of the
portfolio. The group operates
Great Lakes Fasteners, Nut
& Bolt Fastening Solutions,
and most recently Lakeshore
Shore Fastener and Hodges
Fastener Corporation. The
consortium strives to maintain
the distributors’ local
identities in their communities
yet leverage the collective
strength and size of the
enterprise. Customers enjoy a
vast inventory of standard and
special fasteners plus bundled
lean production services,
including kitting, packaging,
sub-assembly, and managed
inventory programs (VMI).
